Nikon Special Custom Models

Nikon F3 LAPITA 2000 MEMORIAL EDITION

The normal commercial model has a red stripe, but this special model has a green stripe. Moreover, the limited production number is extremely small with only 100 units. In 2000, the Japanese big publisher Shogakukan released the Nikon F3 limited edition in the magazine LAPITA.
